Life in Northern Canada - Feel the Inukness!

Yep, this is exactly what it's like in Northern Canada, but have you ever tried to play your accordion in -40C weather? I have. My lips kept getting stuck to the mouthpiece.

Now that I think of it, might have been doing it wrong.

Ah two weeks, and I head back to resolute for 2.5 months and I can enjoy freezing my nutsack off. Gonna have a blast. There is something special about that whole middle of nowhere and I'M ALIVE thing.

This makes Winnipeg feel positively balmy. For those of you who don't know, this video shows the only two ways Canadians are allowed to walk. It's the law!


Hey you forgot to mention the third way. It's allowed, but only under certain circumstances. It's shorts and short-sleeves, and it has to be snowing outside.

Here's a personal confession.

I was only 19 years old when I went up to the NWT to work at the Hudson's Bay Store (yes, it was still The Bay back then). I kept seeing signs all over the place signed "Koana/ᖁᐊᓇ", such as "Please take off your boots before coming into the break room- Koana/ᖁᐊᓇ" or "No T-Shirt, No Shorts, No Toque, No Service - Koana/ᖁᐊᓇ" Being new there, I asked one of the other staff members who "Koana" was.

I was so young and naive, and I've never gotten over the embarassment.

Wow, I forgot about that one. Usually seen only in February. Louis Riel Day is the traditional date set for t-shirts and shorts in these here parts.

See what free healthcare does to you?! This is why we need to stop Obamacare!!


Actually in Canada this IS healtcare. Funny walks are important to the maintenance of physical and mental health in Canada, which is why they are mandatory. The iPod is optional. In the USA, everyone will be required to carry medical insurance. Not the same thing.
